Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Invincible in the Mortal Realm

As a neighboring country to Great Chang, Great Xia was stronger than Great Chang in terms of area, national power, and population.

However, the demonic calamity in Great Xia was much more severe than in Great Chang.

In a terrifying demonic ritual, even the Xia Capital and a large number of the imperial clan were sacrificed. If it weren’t for the Celestial Image Level Real Person who came from outside to take charge, the entire Great Xia would have fallen under the control of demonic creatures.

Even so, apart from the core areas of each circuit prefecture, the people of various provinces and counties in Great Xia were living in dire straits, suffering from the demonic calamity and demonic traces.

After entering the demonic calamity zone, Li Qian could see many cities still inhabited by a large number of people.

But Li Qian knew that these towns had already fallen under the control of the Demon Race. The ones managing these cities were demonic cults loyal to the Demon Race. These demonic cults were somewhat similar to the Shepherd Families of ancient times, or rather, they had already begun to function as Shepherd Families.

He personally entered the towns to investigate and understand how the demonic cults in the demonic calamity zone operated. They spread the beliefs of the demonic cults, thereby paralyzing and deceiving a large number of people, making them content with the status quo and unwilling to resist the rule of the demonic cults.

In addition, the demonic cults would select some firm believers from among the people and send them to the so-called Divine Kingdom to receive the baptism of the gods.

In reality, these people had only one fate: to become nourishment for the demonic creatures.

The key was that many ordinary people actually fell for this.

On the surface, the cities in the demonic calamity zone, under the management of the demonic cults, were surprisingly stable. On the contrary, the towns outside the demonic calamity zone were often attacked by demonic creatures, causing panic among the people, who lived in fear day and night.

“Only by completely eliminating the demonic creatures will the Demon Race have no soil to survive.”

Li Qian muttered to himself.

As long as the demonic creatures existed, the demonic cults would be difficult to eradicate.

Whoosh!

Li Qian left a city and flew towards the core area of the demonic calamity.

In less than half an hour, he had arrived at the Great Xia Capital, where the Xia Capital was located.

This was the origin of the demonic calamity.

No one knew how the demonic cult had managed to complete the demonic ritual within this most important capital of Great Xia, but they had done it.

The Xia Capital had already become a place occupied by demonic creatures, shrouded in mist, with only vague outlines visible.

Terrifying roars and growls emanated from within, making one’s heart palpitate.

Li Qian flew directly into the mist, his powerful spiritual sense sweeping through, sensing the fluctuations of formations. These fluctuations were clearly from the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Manual.

He guessed that in ancient times, the areas where Great Chang and Great Xia were located should have been the territory of Lion Camel Ridge, so the formations in the demonic calamity zone were all related to Lion Camel Ridge.

Li Qian’s mastery of formations was now unparalleled. Entering the formation, he did not encounter any major obstacles.

Moreover, the formations here were much inferior to those in Lion Camel Demon City.

Soon, Li Qian locked onto a powerful Demon Saint’s demonic body.

Just as his spiritual sense locked onto it, the Demon Saint’s demonic body reacted and tried to escape, but how could Li Qian give it a chance? Without even using his Blood and Qi Sanctuary, he directly pinned it down with a sword.

“Human Martial Saint, once the barrier of the Mortal Realm is broken, my Lion Camel Ridge will definitely not let you off!”

The Demon Saint’s demonic body stared at Li Qian, its voice filled with resentment.

The next moment, the Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness on its body dissipated.

“Hehe, not let me off? Well, you’ll have to find me first.”

Li Qian smiled faintly.

As long as he hid, who could find him?

Next, Li Qian wiped out all the demonic creatures and demonic cult members within the entire Xia Capital.

Finally, he arrived at an area where a number of humans were living.

These people had been sent in by the demonic cult under the guise of divine blessings. They ranged in age from teenagers to those in their thirties, both male and female, belonging to the most vigorous stage of life and the Demon Race’s preferred choice.

How to get these people out was a problem.

The entire Xia Capital was shrouded in mist by the grand formation.

Since he had eliminated the demonic creatures, he couldn’t just leave these ordinary people to die within the grand formation, could he?

“I don’t have that much time to break it, I’ll just destroy it.”

Li Qian thought to himself.

Anyway, with Lion Camel Demon City still existing, the formation here wasn’t of much value.

With this in mind, Li Qian took a deep breath, his powerful Myriad Images Sword Intent surging out overwhelmingly. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and one could faintly see a terrifying net appearing in the sky, as if it were about to descend from above.

“As expected, I can’t use too much power, or it will trigger a backlash from the Mortal Realm’s barrier.”

Li Qian sighed.

So he lowered the intensity of his Myriad Images Sword Intent. Rolling heaven and earth Yuan Qi gathered, and a terrifying sword qi, a thousand feet long, condensed. With a wave of his hand, the terrifying sword qi slashed down fiercely. Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the rolling mist was completely torn apart.

It was as if the heavens and earth were overturned, the ground cracked, and houses collapsed.

Starting from him, this sword strike actually cleaved a terrifying chasm, twenty to thirty miles long and a hundred feet wide, as if half of the Xia Capital had been split in two.

Moreover, the location he attacked happened to be the weak point of the entire grand formation.

Woooooo

With a series of tremors, the originally gathered mist began to dissipate.

In less than half an hour, the entire Xia Capital was completely exposed to the sunlight.

After doing all this, Li Qian left the Xia Capital directly.

As for the rest, the local circuit prefecture would handle it.

He believed that the Taiwu Circuit Lord would immediately inform the Circuit Lord on the Great Xia side.

In fact, less than half a day after Li Qian left, people from the local circuit prefecture arrived at the Xia Capital.

They looked at the huge chasm that had been cleaved by sword qi from the sky and were shocked.

Even the Celestial Image Level Celestial Being was the same.

“Martial Saint, I didn’t expect a Martial Saint to be born in this Mortal Realm.”

He had been a little skeptical when he received the notification.

But now, such power, cleaving open the demonic creature grand formation of the Xia Capital with a single sword strike, was enough to prove it.

◈◈◈

Time flew by, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qian’s footsteps had traversed the eight regions and seventy-three countries of the Mortal Realm. He had eliminated no less than one hundred and fifty Demon Saint demonic bodies, and as for ordinary lesser demons, there were countless.

Originally, he only wanted to clear out the several countries around Great Chang, at most the Ram’s Horn Region.

But after witnessing the various tragic scenes in the demonic calamity zone, he could no longer suppress his anger and resolutely chose to clear out all the Demon Race forces in the Mortal Realm.

Although he hadn’t cultivated much during this long period, Li Qian’s gains were still good.

He had obtained seven various storage artifacts, which contained quite a few good things, especially Yuan Stones, estimated to be around three thousand.

In addition, there were over a hundred Demon Stones.

This meant that he no longer had to worry about lacking resources for his future cultivation.

Of course, he also knew that by clearing out the Demon Race forces in the Mortal Realm this time, he had definitely offended a large number of Demon Saints and Demon Race forces in the Demon Realm.

Those Demon Saint demonic bodies would always leave behind harsh words before leaving.

Lion Camel Ridge, Ten Thousand Gu City, Green Hill Mountain, Floating Island, Soaring Palace… Needless to say, these Demon Race forces were probably on the same level as Lion Camel Ridge.

Fortunately, he had always been cautious and disguised his aura.

Even if the barrier of the Mortal Realm collapsed in the future, as long as he didn’t deliberately expose himself, those Demon Saints probably wouldn’t recognize him even if they saw him.

When Li Qian returned to Divine Sword Sect, he had three eleven or twelve-year-old children with him.

They were all rescued by him when he broke through the demonic calamity zone. The reason he brought them back was because the three children all had high root bone talent, reaching the Treasure Light Level, and one even reached the High-Grade Treasure Light Level.

Moreover, they were all Hidden Root Bones.

It was precisely because of this that they were easily overlooked.

Li Qian naturally wouldn’t let go of such high-level martial arts prodigies and directly brought them back.

Moreover, he had been cautious. In order to prevent his identity as a Martial Saint from being exposed, he chose to take these three children away secretly.

So these three children didn’t know that it was he who had broken through the demonic calamity zone and saved them.

For the sake of his own safety, he had to be careful.

After all, he had offended so many forces and Demon Saints in the Demon Realm.

Once the barrier of the Mortal Realm collapsed, his situation would be very dangerous.

As for the identity of a Dao Sect elder, he wouldn’t take it. He didn’t think the identity of a Dao Sect elder could protect him.

The best way was to hide his identity, so that no one knew he was the Mortal Realm Martial Saint.

When Li Qian brought the three children back to Time Bell Pavilion, only Chai Shao was there.

“Master.”

Chai Shao hurriedly bowed.

Initially, Master had only said that he would be leaving for a while, but he hadn’t said how long. He didn’t expect to be gone for more than a year.

He looked curiously at the three children following behind Li Qian, two boys and one girl. Could they be Master’s newly accepted disciples?

“These three will be your junior brothers and sister from now on. You will teach them. Remember, start with the Sword-Piercing Fist.”

Li Qian said.

With a disciple to help him teach, there was no need for him to do it himself.

He believed that Chai Shao was more suitable for teaching than he was.

He had been running around for more than a year, hadn’t cultivated much, and his formations hadn’t improved at all.

Next, he would focus on bell ringing cultivation and take stock of his gains from this trip.

“Yes, Master.”

Chai Shao hurriedly responded.

“Three junior brothers and sister, let me introduce myself first.”

He said in the gentlest tone.

Dong dong dong dong

As the clear and melodious bell sound rang out, it spread throughout the sky above Divine Sword Sect.

Li Qian bathed in the bell sound, a look of exhilaration on his face.

He hadn’t practiced bell ringing cultivation in front of the Time Bell for more than a year.

This feeling was truly wonderful.

He felt every cell in his body cheering and jumping for joy.

So he reached out and grabbed, a Divine Sword appearing in his hand.

Sword Eighteen.

Although he had completely refined Sword Eighteen, making it his Natal Sacred Sword.

In reality, Sword Eighteen was essentially just a vessel for his Natal Sacred Sword.

As long as he was willing, he could abandon Sword Eighteen.

It was just that a Natal Sacred Sword with a vessel would be more powerful.

Moreover, the stronger the vessel, the more powerful the Natal Sacred Sword could be.

After a period of cultivation, Li Qian let out a long breath and put away Sword Eighteen. He looked at the three new disciples who were listening attentively to Chai Shao’s explanation of the Sword-Piercing Fist, a smile appearing on his face, and then walked into the bell tower.

Finally, he could practice bell ringing cultivation in peace.

Status: Ongoing Author: Released: 2024 Native Language: Chinese
Reborn into a world where martial arts are supreme, Li Qian became an Odd-Job Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and was assigned to be a Bell Ringer. While ringing the bell, the Sacrificial Instrument System unexpectedly awakened, and the Time Bell he rang became his Natal Sacrificial Instrument, connected to his very life. As long as he rang the bell, he could enhance the Time Bell Sacrificial Instrument. Moreover, the Sacrificial Instrument has one major characteristic. As long as the Time Bell is not destroyed, the Host will not die. From then on, a path of immortal martial arts unfolded before Li Qian. Many years later, the Divine Sword Sect faced a crisis of annihilation, and countless Divine Sword Sect disciples knelt before the Time Bell Pavilion. "We implore the Ancestor to act." *** In a world dominated by martial prowess, the Divine Sword Sect stands as a beacon of power and prestige. Within its vast hierarchy, Odd-Job Disciples occupy the lowest rung, their lives dedicated to menial tasks and their dreams of martial cultivation often fading into obscurity. Li Qian, a transmigrator from a world without martial arts, finds himself among these lowly disciples, his initial aspirations dampened by his assigned role as a mere bell ringer. Yet, fate has a different plan for Li Qian. The seemingly ordinary Time Bell, entrusted to his care, awakens a dormant power within him—the Sacrificial Instrument System. Bound to the Time Bell, Li Qian discovers a path to cultivation unlike any other, one that grants him unique abilities and the potential for eternal life. As he diligently performs his duties, the Time Bell undergoes a gradual transformation, its power growing alongside Li Qian's own martial arts cultivation. However, the tranquility of Li Qian's life is shattered when he becomes entangled in a web of secrets and conspiracies. The mysterious death of his predecessor, Old Song, and the existence of a treasure map left behind by an Innate Martial Artist thrust Li Qian into a dangerous game of power and intrigue. Hunted by those who covet the treasure and forced to confront the darker side of the Divine Sword Sect, Li Qian must rely on his wits, his growing strength, and the enigmatic abilities of the Time Bell to survive. Guided by his master, Zhou Buping, a recluse with a hidden agenda, Li Qian navigates the treacherous waters of sect politics, forming alliances with fellow disciples like the hardworking Chen Yong and encountering enigmatic figures like the seductive Song Yingying. As he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding him, Li Qian uncovers a world far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined, a world where the pursuit of martial perfection is intertwined with ambition, betrayal, and the ultimate quest for immortality. This is a story of cultivation, adventure, and self-discovery, where a seemingly ordinary individual, armed with an extraordinary artifact and an unyielding spirit, rises above his humble beginnings to challenge the established order and forge his own destiny in a world where only the strong survive.
